Y'all, we need to talk.

Michelle gave me a pellet ice maker this past Christmas, and it is literally the best thing anyone has ever given me. It has measurably improved my quality of life. I think about how much I love it every single day.

Y'all should really register for this -- Ed is amazing. He had lots to share in the interview.

The list of things that I know I make better than anyone else on the planet is short enough to be counted on one hand. Well, on my thumb, really. It's one thing, but it's a very important thing: macaroni and cheese. (Don't @ me.)

Well, looks like I can knock off for the day -- first time my inbox has been <100 unopened emails in over five years. #lifegoals

Beavers going out into the world and straight crushing. Ain't surprised. #GoBeavs

So, 15 hours ago I went to the airport for a 5-hr flight from RDU to SEA. It took 11 hrs to get to SEA on one plane with no meal. I was supposed to be in PDX four hours ago, but I am still in SEA. To their credit, Delta did ultimately book me on an AS flight, but this is absurd.

Hey, guess who's wife bought him an octopus at the store today!!!

I was today years old when I realized that pita bread isn't baked by magic elves or gnomes or whatever. Regular people can make them at home!

What do you mean you don't have a Cole Parmer immersion circulator? Do you even cook, bro?!?

'Use some Sichuan peppercorns, lots of red peppers, and make it oily. It'll be banging.'

David Chang, from the headnotes of one of the recipes in Momofuku. You know I had to make it.

It was offensively hot but also banging. OMG, so good. So hot.

I am an absolute fiend for fried oysters. I've eaten them my whole life, anywhere I can get them...dozens upon dozens of variations, and I have loved them all.

Tonight, I had the best fried oysters I've ever had, and it's not even close. #OldOregonSmokehouse #RockawayBeach

Thanks to me, humanity now has the answer to a question that has plagued us for millennia, a question many thought could not be answered; indeed, the answer beyond the reach of mere mortals. Yet I have succeeded. You're welcome. I expect the call from the Nobel folks any day now.

WAHOOWA!

So, what happens if I bake bread with poolish and biga? Quantum singularity? Uncontrollable fusion? Cats and dogs sleeping together? Secret police kick down my door and tase me, bro? I'm not sure, but kiss your partner and hold your kids close, 'cause I'm fixin' to find out.

John Burland's Geo-Legends episode is posted this Thursday - here's a look back at some BBC footage with John talking about the Tower of Pisa!

Carl Sagan FTW. 'None of them were ruling the galaxy.' MF mic drop.
